Maytag Model # 5000AWN
First we cannot figure how to get the front cover off without breaking it. Don't laugh!
Next it is leaking a good size pudddle even before I start the agitation. I just filled it and OH OH!
Please any help would be greatly appreciated!

use a putty knife to push the clips in at the top corners of the front panel so you can lift the top. then there are two 5/16 screws holding front panel on.
good chance the water level switch tube popped off the tub.

OK we took the front off and it is leaking from where the black tube comes down from the washtub, it looks like some kind of pump mounted to the base and it is white. Under where that white base is where it is leaking. So there is two hoses going to this round white base that fills with water, which is leaking. The water is coming from there. I am going to try and insert a pic and by the way..God Bless you for your help
OK I will insert image if I can!
